The first weeks of a Republican-dominated Washington have brought a steady stream of announcements on new domestic and international policy directives. As Donald Trump sends shockwaves through the political system, a Republican Congress has largely fallen in line. The world is watching closely to understand new key domestic and international priorities, the Republican trifecta’s strategic approach, and potential challenges facing the administration in the weeks and months ahead. In this discussion with experienced public policy advisor, David Metzner, we will explore these questions and more broadly what Republican leadership means for the United States and the world.
David Metzner has consulted for over 25 years on the federal nature of the American government and the interplay between the states, Washington, D.C., and foreign governments in the development of public policy. This has included national debates among the Republican and Democratic political parties, the regulation of the financial markets, trade policy, anti-trust, and foreign policy. Mr. Metzner is currently the Managing Partner of ACG Analytics, an analytical consultancy firm, which advises asset managers and corporate leaders on how public policy can affect their investment and management decisions.
